If there is



If there's
a little whisper
from the deepest place of our heart
saying
I could have done better
maybe we really could have

If there is
a little believe
in our broken soul
that you should have tried harder
maybe we should really have

If there is
a slight feeling
that we didn't belong where you are
maybe we never really did

But life isn't always comfortable
and people aren't always happy

So, then,
we stuff our feelings in*
and go on with life

Leaving the past behind us
accepting what we have
who we are
and stop regretting what we didn't do better

Believing that this must be the best path this universe has prepared for us

That's called being grateful, isn't it?

But...
If there's
a person you never know
looking back at you
when you see yourself in the mirror

If there's
a lonely feeling of being with yourself
an empty sight of what used to be filled with the entire galaxy

If there's
that one little second
when you suddenly just stop
and realize
that you have lost yourself
that you have gone too far from who you really are

So that time
maybe we really have to stop stuff our feelings in*
stop defining being grateful as accepting everything life has thrown at us

So that time,
maybe we should become a fighter again
maybe we should start looking for that lost-self

So that time,
maybe we should do better
and try harder
again
and find where we truly belong

If only there is.
